Utsunomiya Gyoza

The savory aroma rises from the iron pans. The skin is crispy, and with a single bite, flavorful meat juices overflow from the abundant vegetables. It is a light deliciousness that allows you to eat as many as you like. The connection between Utsunomiya and gyoza is said to date back to the war. It is believed to have begun when soldiers of the 14th Division of the Imperial Japanese Army, stationed in the city, became familiar with authentic gyoza in Manchuria and other parts of mainland China, bringing the recipe back after the end of the war. Gyoza, which are rich in vegetables and easy on the household budget, spread to homes, later becoming known for having one of the highest per-household purchase amounts in the country, leading to regional revitalization. From specialty shops to famous restaurants with long lines, the number of shops is countless. It is now the pride of this gyoza city, renowned throughout the nation.
